CAN-BODY-MAKIN G MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 30, 1913.

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN E. SGHENGK, a citizen of the United States, residing in Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Can-Body-Mnking Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in can body making machines.

The object of my invention is to provide a can body making machine by means of which necked-in can bodies may be produced.

A lfurther object is to provide a machine which will not only operate to form the can body and neck in one end thereof, but also form .a seeming liange upon the other end of the can body when desired.

. vMy invention consists in the novel consection on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view, similar to thc loiwer portion of Fig. 3, but showing the ,parts in another position to better illustrate the operation. Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 4. Fig. G is a detail elevation of part of a body forming mechanism. Fig. 7 illustrates a modification in which a plain supporting head for the outer end of the can body is substituted for the HangingV die. Fig. Sisliows a modification in which a plain plunger is substituted for the neckiiig-in plunger or die, and Fig. -9 illu-strates a further modication in which a Hanging die is 'substituted for the necking-in die, so that flanges lmay be produced, if desired, upon both ends of the can body.

. In the drawing, 1 represents the frame ot the machine, the same being of any suitable construction, to give support and mounting to the other parts.

2 is'the `t'ormer horn of the can body making machine, the same being preferably of ,the expa-nsible type. 3 are the folding or forming Wings by which the flat blank is wrapped around the horn, 4 the bumper and 5 the reciprocating slide by which the flat blanks from which the can bodies are formed are fed first to the edge folding or hook forming devices and then to the body former horn and then discharged from the body former horn. 6 is an operating shaft of the machine having a crank,7 for operating the bumper. All these parts are or may be of any suitable kind or construction now commonly in use land familiar and Well known to those skilled in the art, and consequently need no further description. The body former horn 2 is preferably furnished with a continuation or extension 8 which may be integral with or in a separate piece from and secured to the end of the body former horn 2, as may be desired, in order that the' can body necking-in and Hanging mechanism may not be inconveniently close or adjacent to the body lformer mechanism of the machine.

As the .can bodies are discharged one by one from the body former horn 2 by the ejector linger 9 of the feed slide 5, they are pushed onto one of the series of necking-in mandrcls 10 mounted upon an intermittently revolving turret or carrier 11, which operetes to bring a mandrel 10 first into registry or line with a necking in plungeror die l2 carried by a reciprocating stem or slide 13, mounted in suitable guides onbearings 14 on the frame of the machine and reciprocated in unison with the feed slide 5 by a cam 15 on the bumper operating shaft 6 through a connecting lever 16, having a roller 1T traveling in the groove of the cani 15, and which has a slotted yoke connection 1S with the necking-in plunger slide or stem 13.

The mandrel turret or carrierll is or may be provided with a series of langing dies 19,.one for each necking-in mandrell() so that the stroke of the necking-in plunger or die l2 will simultaneously With the necking-in .operation also form a iiange w upon the outerend ci the can bodyy X. 'Each of the Hanging dies 19 has Aan annular stop shoulder 2O to limit the length of the flange l m formed upon the end of the can body. Each of the necking-in mandrels 10 is furnished with an end portion 21 of reduced diameter, and a shoulder 22 between the smaller and larger portions of the neckingngi iii-v by eiigiigemeiiif ii iiieheifi to iiio i'ziiii iieeifiiigiii oiii or .month 2i) io 'fzieiiitii eiid of tile can iafoiiy Wiiiiiii portion 3G eli the die. ,iiie i iig-in iiiiindei :imi Hanging die eiiiiiei 'Li is 'Qieizi' iy 11i pn i'iioii to eiii one of :its ,iimiiili-L-is io iieoiiifaieiy regain' W'iii tiie body ioi'iiiei hom iii position io i'eeoive ii cani iioiiy iiieieii'oiii aiiii another of iis miiiiiii'eie io iieiiiizieiy register Wii'ii iiie mocking-iii die or piiiiigei' l2 by ineims of o, Geneva @lop iiioi'eiiieiit, the some minimising :i disk Bl, iizivi i'zidiii slots :iii/i eii'eiihii'iy eiii'ieii iioteiiee; 33 iii eoiiiieeiioii with' :i segiiiieiit digli 2H- ou the shaft 35 and eiiink iii'iii 3G having ai Wrist pin 37 for entering the iziiiiiii sluis.
